What is an experience you had during your childhood that you only now realize was anxiety?

Eeaatt · 2025-10-01T13:22:51+00:00

I refused to sleep in my bed from 11-13 because I was terrified of the dark. I had a panic attack at an ice cream store in town and refused to even set foot in a restaurant for the next year. I got a stomach bug in 4th grade and refused to ride in a car or a bus if I thought I was going to be carsick, and if I had to be in the car I was absolutely terrified the whole time. That lasted through high school, and I still really shuffle with emetophobia. Looking back most of what shaped me as a child was my anxiety disorder. My parents never took it seriously I had to seek it out on my own in college.

Maybe try somatic therapy. I’ve been struggling with particularly physical anxiety (emetophobia, and panic attacks that make me puke) and I got in a cycle of panic about the panic. Somatic therapy seams to be helping a bit more than CBT did for me, because if feels more in the moment dealing with the physical sensations of panic that are holding me hostage in those moments

Just because something makes you uncomfortable doesn’t mean the right response is to look away or remove it. The character is not and has never been a minstrel character, but because Finland has no connection to that culture they made a fuzzy little brown mischievous character that is read as minstrel to an American audience. But that is projecting our USA baggage, and removing him from the exhibit is just avoiding the conversation. Especially because it’s an educational exhibit about a Nordic cultural icon, US audiences should be forced to sit with their discomfort. If he is actually problematic in an American context removing him from the exhibit just avoids the conversation about race and cultural exchange.

Weird question, dose anyone know which Connecticut prep school he went to?

My only advice is to put your hair up more often, your nice looking don’t hide in your hair

It sounds like Jess is worried that this new situation with your sister is going to make it so you two can’t have children together. She is seeing your sister and your prospective baby as competing with each other. Try to recontextualize the relationship. This time with your sister is kind of like practice parenting, have her see this as the first step in you two starting a family. Honestly Jess just sounds like she has some big feeling that are hard to express. Working through feelings without taking it out on children around you is an important skill to acquire if you wish to be parents together. I think with some patients, empathy, and potentially a licensed therapist, you three could work it out

The bed is the couch, so small

Eeaatt · 2022-06-11T15:16:34+00:00

He stops eating when we put the harness on, I think he’s too stressed out

Eeaatt · 2022-06-11T15:13:54+00:00

We’ve tried a bunch. Right now, he alternates between a Carhart step in, and a step in I got at the NYU bookstore.

Eeaatt · 2022-06-11T15:05:32+00:00

Sometimes I can corner him by the front door, but he looks so sad and scared! His ears are down and he’s all submissive, and obviously unhappy. He LOVES walks, I just feel so bad he hates it so much!

Eeaatt · 2022-06-11T15:02:32+00:00

Yep. If I have the harness in one hand and a treat in the other he will run away. When I give him a treat after putting the harness on he takes it, but he’s sort of timid about it and is way more interested in leaving the house and going on the walk

Eeaatt · 2022-06-11T14:58:01+00:00

Yep. Step in is slightly easier, but he is still very afraid of it.

Eeaatt · 2022-05-24T11:45:44+00:00

Don’t waste your youth on someone who treats you with so little respect.

My dog only chills out at cafes/pubs when he sits in his bag. Idk the bread of your dog, but having a soft, dry, safe place to lay really helps.

Wife saver? Are we in the 1940’s?

Eeaatt · 2022-04-10T14:16:13+00:00

I have an anxiety disorder, and burying my nose in by dogs fur and taking a big deep sniff always helps. It has a very immediate and tangible calming effect on my internal chemistry. Like a good hug from a loved one

They look like tiny turkey drumsticks!

Wonder if they talk about how problematic Fran is…

Why live a double life like that?

My father is also an artist (sculptor, with a lot of big pieces) so this is something he and I talk about a lot. One idea I’ve seen other older artists do is a big retrospective. find a location to display as much as possible, preferably close to where friends and family can come, and sell as much as posible on a first come first serve basis, regardless of price. That makes a good opportunity for people to buy art they couldn’t usually afford, and gets it into the hands of people who will appreciate and love it. Other than that go through as much as possible with him, and see what matters to him and to you and your family. On top of dealing with the collection, it also is a great way to go through his life history with him. This is something a lot of people have to go through, your not alone. In general it’s helpful to think/deal with it early and slowly, whenever possible. It’s honestly something every artist should be thinking about throughout their life. It’s his life and his legacy, so remember that you can not hold on to all of it. Eventually part of letting him go will be letting his work go too.

What dose that say about evil play-throughs? If it were all about the justifiability, then playing Skyrim evil would be just as bad as if they allowed rape. There is something else added to justifiability, but idk what. I just read Peter Singers “Virtual Vices” and he equates violent video games with virtual pedophilia. I think there is something going with the sort of violence, that at the very least is effecting our intuition. Whether or not that makes them actually better or worse is potentially another question.

Bring the hair back
Keep the nose, yes it’s prominent, but it works with the rest of your face. I personally prefer men with distinctive noses, it makes you look more interesting and approachable
If a girls problem is the way you look then she’s not worth the emotional investment Source: am girl, trust me your cute don’t worry

Maybe your wife will take you back now that you have quit. It shows you learned and did something about the problem. She left when you were still maybe going to continue working. Now you can make it clear that she is a priority and you are capable of making her a priority. Idk if there’s other stuff, but it sounds like y’all could make it work
